The cover image on this month's edition of Cell Reports is an artistic representation of neural activity during behavior in health (left) and Alzheimer's disease (right), with sharp wave ripples (which are associated with replay) as branches. The research results link synaptic deficits in Alzheimer's disease to dysfunction of neural activity essential for memory. Artist Annie Stewart designed this.

The cuttlefish contains a porous, layered architecture that simultaneously resists high pressures experienced in the deep sea while remaining lightweight and enabling the cuttlefish to control its buoyancy. The mantis shrimp has a dactyl club that exhibits functionally graded elasticity and hardness that leads to high impact resistance needed for striking its prey.
